Fire-rated sealant in Pimlico, Hertfordshire
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Pimlico, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Pimlico, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Fire rated sealant in Pimlico
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Pimlico, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What we are called out for in Pimlico
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Ascension, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant around Pimlico
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Kings Langley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Bedmond Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pimlico
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pimlico can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What does fire rated sealant cost?

Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
